ReaR version

Relax-and-Recover 2.9 / 2025-01-31

Describe the ReaR bug in detail

Greetings REAR developers =)

i have an ubuntu 22.04 system (this behavior also occurred on RHEL 7.9),
it has a sata SSD /dev/sda as the REAR target, that was formatted by REAR using "rear -v format -- --efi /dev/sda"
i created a backup by executing "rear -v mkbackup" and i get this error right before returning to prompt:

Image

what does "since it's on a different device" mean?

some info about the environment:

cat/etc/rear/local.conf

Image

cat /etc/os-release

Image

lsblk - note that the lsblk shows the still mounted rear mount

Image

it happened recently on two different environments (repeatedly) and i'm not sure how to avoid it or what i'm doing wrong,

can you advise?

Platform

No response

OS version

Ubuntu 22.04

Backup

NETFS

Storage layout

Image

What steps will reproduce the bug?

  1. install latest rear
  2. backup using rear -v mkbackup to a preformatted /dev/sda

Workaround, if any

i can just unmount and delete the folder, but i'm not sure if it this error indicates something is wrong

Additional information

i did not see this error in REAR v2.6 & 2.7 for more than a year of using it
